Teaching Exponential Growth and Decay: Examples from Medicine
Hobbie, Russell K.
American Journal of Physics, 41, 3, 389-393, Mar 73
A treatment of exponential growth and decay is sketched which does not require knowledge of calculus, and hence, it can be applied to many cases in the biological and medical sciences. Some examples are bacterial growth, sterilization, clearance, and drug absorption. (DF)
